Engineers are still working hard to restore power to more than 1,200 homes across Greater Manchester.

Electricity North West have worked around the clock to repair damage to flooded substations and to re-route supplies to restore power to 24,750 customers following the Boxing Day floods.

Generators are being installed in those areas without supply and teams from the company will continue to work to get the power back on for the remaining 1,200 customers in Greater Manchester and around 50 customers in Lancashire on Monday.

On Monday morning there were 687 customers in Bury without power, 485 in Rochdale and 58 in Croston.

Engineers from Electricity North West have made significant progress overnight and power supplies have now been restored to an additional 1,750 customers.

Steve Cox, incident manager for Electricity North West, said: “We understand how difficult it is to be without power and are focus today is to ensure that power is restored for the remaining 1,250 customers.

“We are also working with electricity suppliers to inspect properties that have been impacted by flooding. Such inspections are essential to ensure that power is restored in these properties safely.

“I’d like to thank customers for their understanding and their goodwill to our teams during what continues to be an enormously challenging time for everyone involved. We are immensely proud of the area and the people we serve in the way they have dealt with this incident.”
